During his press conference, Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan said free agent WR Rashaun Woods (hamstring) failed his physical because of a hamstring pull and he was unable to practice at this time. Shanahan added, "Until a player is ready to practice full speed, they don't pass the physical. Right now we are not really sure on how long he is going to be out. He's got a bad hamstring pull, he doesn't feel comfortable with it and we had an MRI on it so the chances are, unless we lost somebody, that he will not come back."

Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, reports it was apparent almost from the start that former San Diego Chargers WR Rashaun Woods wouldn't find a spot within the team's crowded group of receivers. With Woods, a former first-round selection of the San Francisco 49ers, released early, it gives him time to find a job somewhere else.
